Day off before loss to Braves benefits some Twins, but not all

The Twins entered Friday's 4-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves well-rested.

Or they were supposed to be, at least, after Thursday's day off in Fort Myers, Fla.

"I turned my alarm off, and I still woke up at 6:30," righthander Randy Dobnak said. "So it's kind of a problem I have."

Dobnak started Friday's game, throwing six groundballs and five strikeouts despite no extra sleep. That wasn't the only part of his off-day that went awry, as he had plans for sunset kayaking outing with Griffin Jax — "Get a little bit romantic," Dobnak joked — but the bookings filled up before the two could go.
